Wayne is a rare born, raised, and still living in Atlanta, son of Georgia.  He participated in sports on the gridiron and diamond throughout his upbringing and education at Lakeside High School, Georgia State and Auburn University.  His background in foodservice began washing dishes and frying meals at Red Lobster.  Wayne began working at Atlanta Fixture, stocking shelves in the warehouse, while attending college and became hooked in the foodservice world.  Upon graduation, his career really began in sales at Atlanta Fixture.  From there, he moved on to Edward Don and PYA Monarch.  Wayne began with The Hansen Group June 1 of 2000.  He regularly tells of the unequalled upbringing he had into the Rep World, by learning from industry icons Cris Hansen and Phil Kenny, which not many people can match. 

Wayne is a proud husband to his wife Julia of 30 years and father to Isabella and late daughter, Alexis.  He is an avid sportsman and dog lover, hence his chocolate lab Murphy!
